Well first time posting my setup... just got a macbook a month ago, had the powerbook since 2 years ago i think... Look at my avatar for specs, not included in there is the WD 500gig MyBook Pro external drive and 22" inch Dell widescreen monitor.

How is the resolution on the Dell?? I know it is 1680x1050, but since it is a 22 inch, are the pixels too big?? I would like to get the 24, but it is twice the price of the 22, so what do you, and anyone else reading this, think of it??

Had a Dell Inspiron 510m which is now sitting by my bin, It was running XP for the last few years but i've stuck Ubuntu on it for now just to mess around with and stuff.

Then back in June I got my first Mac ever and there's no way i'm going to switch back, never! It's the Black Macbook, 2.16 GHz, 200GB hard drive and I upgraded to 2GB RAM. I bought the wired mighty mouse and I'm backing up to a 250GB external drive.

I'm thinking about adding a Dell LCD and some speakers, probably Logitech's. I'm going off to university this September so i'd rather make my Macbook my entertainment centre than having a gigantic TV and hifi taking up all the space.

I'm going to stick Vista and Ubuntu on it just incase I ever need to go back to the dark side, so i'll use about 20GB each for that. The external's just for backing up, a 160GB would have have done for me seeing as i'm just backing up the Mac side of it, but for some reason the 160 was actually more expensive than the 250:

Though i'll probably make use of the space when Leapord finally ships and I start using Time machine.

99% I just stick in an ethernet cable on my network, I just use it as a little emergency network now and then, like checking my e-mails and stuff when i'm around the house, and my network's wide open for everyone else, so meh.

As long as granma isn't stealing your wealth of information on your computer via the network I'm sure you're all set as well!

Hey Silbee,

I'm not an expert, but to me the pixels are not big and I am satisfied with the 22... tell you the truth after having it for a few weeks now, it starting to look small.. lol.. but im liking it... i would recommend it...

You're so right. Are you a financial advisor? He's a total bastard obviously because he expects me to pay for ****. I'd rather have you as a financial advisor. Your plan is rather simple. Save money steal from others.

this post brought to you by an unprotected wi-fi network :cool: (recommended by my financial advisor)

HAHA XD i do recommend that..dude,isupport!!!
free internet is what everyone needs...its not your fault if people are too dump that they dont protect their wi-fi lol.
 
yeah, well, I do pay for my internet and use an encrypted network. But in the spirit of the last few posts, I jumped on my neighbor's open network for a bit.

It's great, when I look at who else is using their network , there are usually over 10 other neighbors on it.
